Best Highlights for Your Hair Color

From highlights to lowlights, find out which shades complement your hair color

Highlights in black hair will help soften the harshness. Make sure the shade you choose has warm undertones (like Brenda Song's) that will work with your tone instead of against it. Rich copper or warm chocolate brown hues will help ebony hair look brighter, says Pelusi.

Thank you for including something about black hair. Any hairdresser I went to for highlights used blonde colors. Now I know what to tell them to do. Also, it is critical to use color safe/retention products. I have never tried Shielo, but I am going to now. Great advice!
